Guppy Line Breeding Project Log

Some males from the roof tubs.

Changed up the roof tubs a little. I now only have 3 strains in the tubs. The main focus is the metallic snakeskins.


The blonde El Silverado Endlers


The snakeskins got a space for fry to take cover as they are fry annihilators.


The layout and "upgrade".

The tubs were getting so hot I needed some shade to help the fish along.

Finally got round to selecting some of the F1 males to start breeding F2 .
Lost some good males in the earthquake but these should give me something to build the next generation with.

One of the males above and a female came second in an online Guppy Show earlier this year.

Some more recent pics.
A nice big blonde female that gave some good fry in her day.


Bought some new pot plants for the tanks. C. Nurri and Cryptocoryne sp. Flamingo



I put these grates in some of the tanks so fry have a chance as speartail lines are ferocious fry eaters.


This is where deformed and stunted fry go to live out their days......


I put the metallic snakeskin line into a colony breeding tank and combined them with the pygmy cories. I decided to try out a matten corner filter. Water drawn in, pothos roots inside, then uplifted into breeder box that acts a a refugium for micro organisms and returns to tank. The outside of the sponge is planted with buce, anubius and cryptocoryne.
